Where's best to get a Lock Rite?

Thanks that puts my mind at rest. Having a read of the user manual it says you can use a heavier weight gear oil which I've done and its made it almost silent. Probably won't be perfect for the bearings but for the 3000 miles I do a year in it perfect for me. Hope this helps some of you.

What type of oil did you use? I used the standard type oil in mine and it works fine but if I can make it slightly quieter that would be great.

you don't need any special oil with a lockright

Having problems with my lock rite - I reversed on the drive and heard a bang. Taking it apart I saw that the 4 location pins had sheared. :ohmy: After ordering new pins and fitting these and testing the lock rite its still not working. Wondered if anyone has had any problems or can make suggestions on how I can solve the problem. It is on an '06 Jimny. Cheers.

I stripped my rear diff down again and found the pins had sheared again - see pictures...





After this I tried to contact through phone and email tech support but had no reply. As you can see from the rest of the pictures it is not worn and I'm stumped as to why this is happening.

This is how the pins and springs were inserted and the only pin which has survived.



Is it just an expensive paperweight?! Any help would be fantastic.

From the pics it looks like you have used the 2 big washers supplied with the Lock right. I have not used these. Instead I only used the 2 thin washers already in the existing differential.

Since fitting I dont seem to have had any big issues with the Lock right. I've had a couple of big clunks but the diff is still locking and unlocking as it should.

Hope this helps

Also see this link as it shows which washers should be used.

I didn't use the thick thrust washer but did you not put in the spacer between the pinion block and the slide gear? This is where I may be going wrong. All information is helpful! Thanks for the advice so far.

... so if I leave out the spacer that comes with the lock rite, will it not shear the pins? All help is welcome.

I followed that link exactly as I've never really come accross diff locks so thought I would get some advise 1st!

Have you been putting the square pinion joint back in the diff with the lock right?

The only 2 things I can think of at the moment are that either the wrong spacers have been used or the square joint has not been fitted.

Hope this helps
